GYPSY BARON 
GOLD SOVEREIGN (Whiting 1949): M.L. 34 in. Vivid cadmium- 
yellow self of nicely ruffled form. The flowers are not large and 
the branching is only fair but the color is beyond description. 
It is a cross of Ola Kala and Rocket and many judges claim that 
it is the best pure yellow that they have seen. Each $5.00 
GRACE BALLARD (Sass 1941): M. 36 in. A very rich blend of 
creamy pink, gold and apricot with a grace all its own. It has 
a flaring form, is of good substance and adds a delightful and 
conspicuous note to any garden. We like to suggest this Iris. 
Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 
GRACE MOHR (Jory 1935): E.M. 40 in. A seedling of Wm. Mohr 
but taller and better branched stalks. The flowers are tall soft 
lilac veined with manganese-violet, blooms a bit earlier than 
Ormohr. A.M., 1939. Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 
GRAND CANYON (Kleinsorge 1941): M. 49 in. As nearly as 
can be described the color is a blend of plum, copper and gold 
like the colors in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. The 
bright gold beard and gold markings on the upper part of the 
falls give the flower a lively tone. H.M., 1943 and A.M. in 
1944. Illustrated on page 3. Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 
GREAT LAKES (Cousins 1938): M. 44 in. An Iris that comes 
from Canada near the Great Lakes and is a hardy, tall, medium 
blue of very pure color. The flowers are of perfect form, good 
texture and on strong, well branched stems. Winner of H.M. in 
1939; A.M. in 1940; Dykes Medal in 1942. No. 1 Iris in the 
A.1.S. symposium for four years and now in the Hall of Fame. 
Illustrated on page 15. Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 
GUDRUN (Dykes 1931): E.M. 32 in. This fine white Iris has been 
compared to a Magnolia for shape, size and beauty. The warm 
gold beard sets off the shapely blooms and the gold dust sprin- 
kled throughout the flower. Over a period of time this is one of 
the best and we are proud to recommend it. Illustrated on 
page 19. Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 
GYPSY (Kleinsorge 1944): L. 38 in. A very late flowering Iris 
with coppery gold standards and falls of a uniform chestnut- 
brown. This tall Jris blooms with many blossoms and is very dif- 
ferent. There is a great difference in the standards and falls, 
the latter decidedly rounded and uniform brown without haft 
markings so that you will notice it at once. H.M., A.I.S., 1945. 
Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 
GYPSY BARON (Schreiner 1942): E.M. 40 in. An exceptional 
plicata of very deep blue-purple. There is a unique marbling on 
a crisp silvery white background that makes this Iris outstand- 
ing. Illustrated. Each 75c; 3 for $2.00

GYPSY ROSE (Whiting 1946): M.L. 40 in. Rich tapestry-red 
infused with copper and accented by a blue blaze in the falls. 
The flowers are very large, yet sturdy and compact in form. The 
tall, widely branched stalks are strong enough to carry the many 
huge blooms through all kinds of weather. miliN, SAS). 
Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
HAPPY DAYS (Mitchell 1944) : E.M. 44 in. Great big flowers of 
smooth, medium yellow with an attractive gold beard. The foli- 
age grows to a large size and the stalks are well branched and 
attractive. In 1937 it won the A.M. and is a pleasing yellow. 
Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 
HARRIET THOREAU (Cook 1944): M.L. 38 in. A very delightful 
orchid-pink self that is individual in style and form. The petals 
are slightly waved and the stems are sturdy, a slight fragrance 
with a heavy substance makes this a fine flower. H.M., A.I-S., 
1945. Illustrated. Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 
HELEN McGREGOR (Graves 1946): E.M. 34 in. A beautifully 
ruffled, clear blue flower with a white beard. It is of perfect 
form, flaring and daintily ruffled, very large and was the sensa- 
tion of the Iris world during the year of its introduction. Its 
clear pale blue color marks it as an outstanding Iris for years 
to come. H.M. in 1946, A.M. in 1948 and Dykes Medal in 
1949. Each $2.50; 3 for $6.50 
HIWASSEE (Becherer 1946) : M. 36 in. Large, lilac-pink bi-color 
that is not well known but an Iris that will attract at- 
tention when seen. It is a sturdy well shaped plant that does 
not need protection from the bright sunlight and will stand 
up under adverse weather conditions. Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 
HONEYRUST (McClanahan 1943): M. 36 in. Very large flowers 
of a real honeyrust in color. The blooms are bright in color and 
the bright sunlight reflects the honey color down to the center 
of the bloom. Our stock is not very large and we generally sell 
out early. Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
HOOSIER SUNRISE (Lapham 1942): M. 40 in. A lovely pink 
blend with an infusion of soft gold and very broad rounded 
standards and falls. The branching is good, and the substance 
excellent. H.M. in 1943. Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 
HUGUETTE (Millet 1930): M. 48 in. Pansy-blue flowers of 
shimmering silky texture produced in great quantities on stalks 
that reach up to four feet in height. This is one of the hardiest 
Iris that we grow and we find that it always withstands severe 
winter weather. It is an excellent and beautiful Iris. 
Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 
ILLINOIS (Hall 1949): M. 36 in. A large creamy yellow self of 
very fine texture and purity of color. The large and well formed 
flowers of heavy substance are carried on strong 36-inch extra 
well branched stems. It is a very vigorous grower and a prolific 
bloomer. H.M., 1950. Each $2.50; 3 for $6.50
